HimoorWx Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I felt my chair and desk shaking a bit - my office is on Huntington Avenue in Boston (ground floor). I thought maybe I was just a bit light-headed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D: I don't know...still concerned about the eastern track which would put a boatload of rain for everyone but not much wind. I think Ryan is DEAD on with his concerns about wind potential. XT transition in a slow moving cane this far north...just not a good wind setup. That is assuming this thing crawls at under 20mph. A dead-on hit of the center near PVD or EWB would most likely place that stronger wind shield 50-100 miles east of the center as it expands. Irene should be fully tropical at our latitude. It's not interacting with the westerlies at all, and there's no pronounced baroclinic zone nearby. The question is how much it weakens over the cooler waters. If Irene makes landfall up here at > cat 1 strength, I want to get to the coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, most cyclones begin that transition well prior to that type of "look". XT aside- which is probably a bad point on my part- Not sure what to expect honestly, but there has never been (To my knowledge) any PURELY tropical cyclone to strike NE in modern times except maybe Carol? And that is clearly not a good analog as we know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Euro came east..sounds like it takes it over ENC or OBX and then north up to near NYC and then thru SNE> close to GFS but maybe a bit west from what it sounds like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 It goes from NW NJ at 132h to the MA/CT/NY triple point at 138h. At 00z it went from E PA to Albany or GFL...so this track is east of 00z but still west of most other guidance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
